Life Lately: Priorities

Posted on the 17 March 2014 by Thenigottothinking @tracyzlesh
I have had this little blog since 2008 - it's been a place for me to express, reflect, connect with others, create, and document.  I love being able to look back on so many things in my life here on this little corner of the web.  I don't see myself getting rid of it, I just wish it could stay as one of my priorities... and it hasn't!  But it's okay - my goal of 8-10 posts a month probably won't happen in the coming months - but I will do the best I can, and most importantly, I will try to keep up with the documenting - not just for others to read, but for myself.
I have gotten a few emails and messages lately from ladies who read along and I can't tell you how much it means to me - I feel so special that you follow along and I always appreciate the supportive comments and advice from so many of you!  Thank you!
Life lately is filled with family (of course), work, friends, and trying to keep up with things around the house.  I am also trying to get back in to working out, and running.  I have my eyes set on another half marathon in September, but before I sign up, I need to make sure I am going to be dedicated to it.
I see so many ladies who do it all - and they amaze me... community leaders, successful careers, kick-ass mamas, you name it - and when I try to measure up to that, I realize it's just not going to happen.  All I can do is be me, and do the best I can at it every day.  I try to focus most of my energy into Andie and I have tried to really pay attention to my attachment to my cell phone.  I don't want Andie to think I have a phone permanently attached to my hands (she probably already thinks her dad lives in my phone when he is at work because we facetime so much!)
I have seen a few quotes lately that have caught my eye when I can't sleep at night and I am skimming through pinterest.  Quotes have always been something I love - I have them scattered in different areas around the house to remind me of the things I think are important.  Thought I would share a few. . . :)
Have a safe and Happy St. Patties Day!  We are off to drink a green beer and celebrate with TL's friends from work.  Andie is hanging out with her pops - so darn cute.
